It's Christmas time! (2011)

Hello my babies. I love you both so very much. Let's write some updates on what's going on with you both.

Lydia (aka Beeboo) - You are talking up a storm now and you are so smart in what you already understand. You love to say everybody's name when you seem them. You also love saying the word "hi" over and over again to everyone. It is really cute. You do it to Luke all the time. You are able to get into basically everything now, which makes mommy and daddy's job much more difficult. You can open up just about anything and you are climbing up on all of the furniture now. You really like to love on Baudy and your dolly too. You keep trying to feed your dolly a bottle and keep trying to put Luke's binkie into his mouth. Most of the time you try to put the binkie in backwards. Daddy has really been enjoying our new weekend morning routine. When you wake up early, daddy comes in and gets you out of your crib. We snuggle it up in your big girl bed for a bit. It's really fun and this gives mommy and Luke a chance to sleep in a little. The only challenge is that most of the time you are really hyper and don't want to sleep. This new thing is one of daddy's favorites. It is Xmas time and you love trying to put ornaments on the tree limbs. It is adorable. We visited Santa Claus this past week and you were running around all over the place. You loved to visit and play with all the kids. When we finally got up to Santa and put you in his lap, you were so terrified and cried really bad. We're hoping next year you may like it better.

Luke (aka Baudy) - You are more than a month old my little man and growing like a weed. You are such a big guy. At your last doctor's checkup, the doctor said "now that's a baby that doesn't miss a meal" when he first saw you. You are in the 93rd percentile with your size. You absolutely love to eat. When you eat, you do all sorts of grunting and snorting and breathing really hard. You are all boy, such an aggressive little eater man. The grunting and snorting thing is something you do for a lot of the day, including when you sleep. You love your binkie so much. Mommy and daddy have to constantly put your binkie back into your mouth, because as of now you haven't figured out how to keep it from falling out. When it does fall out, you cry like crazy for it. One of the cutest things you do at this point is when you smile or grin in your sleep. It is absolutely adorable when you bust out that little smile while you're snoozing. The other thing that daddy really likes is that mommy showed daddy my baby picture when I was about your age and we look crazy alike. I'm wondering if you will look a lot like me when you get older. Mommy hopes that you will.

Again, we love you both so much. You are both special in every way to us. Another thing I almost forgot to mention is that you two have matching Xmas pajamas which are so cute. We love to put you guys in the outfits. Well, Santa is coming soon with lots of presents our sweet little babies. We can't wait to see what you guys will look like when you grow up, but we don't really want you guys to grow up. We love our little babies so much.

Love always,
Your lucky daddy
